Cleopatrick - Fake Moon

Facts Cleopatrick’s sophomore album, Fake Moon, is a daring leap into new territory for the Cobourg Ontario-based post-rock duo. It’s a record spanning time, influence, and sound, blending lo-fi intimacy with grand, expansive production. For Luke Gruntz and Ian Fraser, this album represents more than just a sonic shift – it’s a bold solidification of their ever-developing creative identity. Returning refreshed from a creative breather, after the rigorous post-pandemic touring of debut LP Bummer, the newest record on their own Nowhere Special Recordings is a captivating collision of lo-fi grit, quiet introspection, and overt existentialism. Anchored in refusal of conformity, and captured with what can only be described as the audio equivalent to Playstation 1 graphics – Fake Moon navigates power, vulnerability, and the complexities of individual identity with both rawness and precision.
